What's your personal wish for 2025 in terms of horological novelty/novelties?

I didn't mean to make any classification, it was just an observation on the "huge risk" of issuing the new Ingenieur. I don't think IWC risked anything, integrated bracelet watches were the hype of 2023-2024, it was just intelligent marketing. The fact their issue is more or less successful than the ones I mentioned was not for debate.

I agree with you that IWC basically didn't risk much with this model. However, they have (unfortunately) taken a big risk with the price. And the gamble didn't work out. You can get the watch new on the gray market at a discount of about 20%. Great watch but the price is too ambitious.

Agree to that 100%

Thinner watches (under 13mm)
Even at the expense of a closed caseback

I wish I could find something I like with a dark stone dial I like (besides the YM falcon eye)

Slimmer clasp / bracelet on the 41mm Rolex divers (because I do like the thinner lugs but the bracelet is a bit wide)

A Ginault homage made by Rolex
40mm, thin lugs, adjustable clasp, ceramic

I like Blancpains happy moon face but wish they made a dress watch that I liked the style of.

I wish the Glashutte Panaroma big date was smaller and thinner like the SeaQ

When I read the OP initially I couldn't think of a watch I was really looking for. It feels like we've already seen everything. Or how would you explain the release of something like the Cubitus?

But today I whished for an ALS in 38mm with GMT and big date complication. That's all I'd need in terms of new releases. And then it has to be repped for sure.
